New upgrade

[Rappy Freak]

Just ordered the upgrade for the flight control unit.  Will let you all know how it goes 

[Gaza07]

Is this the Gps upgrade ?

[Rappy Freak]

Yeah.  Been thinking about it on and off and thought it would come in handy once I start learning to fly with the goggles on

[Gaza07]

The naza gear does look good, looking forward to seeing the usual pics when it arrives and how you get on with it the return home function should come in handy if you find your self in a spot of bother 

[BYOD]

You will not be disappointed, every customer that talks with me can't get over how good they are! I keep saying how good these flight controllers are, they are just amazing 

Regards

I really like the flight controller.  Need to play with the settings a little, could do with a better climb rate.......but not much 

If all goes to plan I am going to try to get it fitted this week ready for a weekend test.

[MadMax]

Has santa been yet 

[Rappy Freak]

Yes the fat guy in the red suit has been




Have not had time to fit and test.  All been well I will get it sorted at the weekend 

[Gaza07]

The naza gear does always look to be good quality, no bare circuit boards or bare gps modules 
Looking forward to seeing it perform, if you feel up to it you could document the upgrade and post here to help other later 

[Rappy Freak]

Yeah I like the not seeing wires part. That's why I like the RC Logger gear.  Will put something up about how the upgrade has gone. Sure I will make some mistakes, but that's how you learn lol

[MadMax]

It will be interesting to see how well the gps works in comparison to some of the other systems with gps, like the rabbit 

[Gaza07]

To be honest I would expect the naza to perform quite a bit better than the rabbit as the rabbit is considerably cheaper, not that there is anything wrong with the rabbit, I just think its like comparing chalk and cheese

I had an hour fpv fun this afternoon with a good friend who has the naza and it is awesome.  Very robust system with steady as a rock flight characteristics, amazing return to launch feature.  It is very robotic like.  Very impressive.  I have some great shots of it flying close to my KK powered quad, also in flight.  We were laughing both wearing goggles looking at each others quadcopters flying as close as we dare.

here's a pic from my view at the naza

[Rappy Freak]

Managed to test the gps mode and have found that the drone floats backward.  Anyone any ideas please?

[Gav]

recalibrate in a field away from anything magnetic?   Not got the gps unit yet myself.

[Rappy Freak]

Yeah no metal with me, phone in the car, no metal around.  Think it may be in the location settings

[MadMax]

Did you balance your props ? could wobbly props cause drift or is there any trim or sub trim on your radio 

[Rappy Freak]

No still not do the props.  I have changed the settings and it seems to hold position now, only have two set of batteries to test with.  Hummmmmmmm think I need some more lol

[MadMax]

Glad you got it sorted just needed a bit of setting up then, you should still balance your props though just to try and eliminate any vibes you might have 

[Rappy Freak]

Vibes are still there but not as bad after strapping the camera down.  Going to sort a prop balance out asap.  Getting some more batteries first.  Hoping to have an FPV test with the goggles today.........the GPS will really get a test then lol
